Mexican actress Martha Higareda celebrated her marriage with Lewis Howes in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, after both had a 4-year courtship. But, the husband of the star of  Amarte duele , Niñas mal and No Manches, Frida has a different career: What about his past in American football ? Here we tell you the details.

Higareda and Howes selected the Riviera Maya as the ideal destination to unite their lives. It was precisely in the municipality of Solidaridad where they met. However, the former athlete dedicates his efforts to digital marketing : he became the author of a pair of bestsellers: The Mask of Masculinity , in 2017; as well as The School of Greatness , in 2023.

He also heads the company SportsNetworker and develops a podcast named after his second book. Following his success, former US President Barack Obama recognized him as one of the best entrepreneurs in the country. However, none of this would have been possible without his sporting past: an injury forced him to retire from the courts.

What football team did Martha Higareda’s husband Lewis Howes play for?

Lewis Howes , 42, had only one goal in mind when he was playing football : to do everything he could to make it to the Olympics . The thing is, after getting hurt, he had to retire from contact sports to improve his health. However, despite taking physical tests, he never made it to a National Football League ( NFL ) team.

According to Team USA , he is a Hall of Famer at Principia College , the Illinois school where he played wide receiver and defensive back for the Crusaders . In case you were wondering, he wore number 10 during his official time in the NCAA . His records later propelled him into the professional ranks in the now-defunct Arena League .

What sports did Lewis Howes play before becoming a marketer?

Football may have been his passion, but Lewis Howes excelled in a couple of other sports that would have increased his chances of competing in the Olympics : the decathlon and handball , in which he became an active member of the United States National Team in tournaments in Spain, Canada and Uruguay.
